Mig33 – raises a cool $10m in the valley
Family 2.0, Web 2.0 related.
Quick early news flash, Steve Goh’s second start up, Mig33 has raised a cool $10m…
What is Mig33? – A social community on your mobile phone. You can socialize from all over the world, roaming where ever you like and hook into Mig33’s community of friends and family at the same time get access to cheap international calling cards.
Clay was at Mig33’s launch pad, coming in second to Grand Central at Etel Conference.
Omalik, blogged about them…
Mig33’s somewhat mysterious yet compelling presentation of its “combination mobile instant messenger and international calling card service” closed the event, leaving folks wondering whether they’d soon be able to IM and place VoIP calls to each other over their cells as they wandered into the hall for the libations.
Over the time I have gotten to know fellow West Aussie, Steven, he is knowledge in this field is staggering.
Here’s more details on Mig33 from Venture Beat “Obscure mobile company Mig33 grows quickly, raises $10M” mentions,”They’re sending more than 15 million messages a day.”
*Disclosure; Clay and I are a small angel investors in this cool app and we wish we had bought more.

CE My Family 2.0
"CE My Family is a Read and Write Genealogy Solution for the Pocket PC. View and edit your family information whenever and wherever convenient!"…I think the best application for this would be, the ability to keep track of which parents belong to which child. Already my son has over 20 friends from playgroups etc and it's really difficult to keep track of names and family members of my son's friends. You can add notes, met at Gymbaroo etc and the best thing is you have the information with you on your phone. The other great use is storing all the info you have on your family ancestry, if your the tracking kind or are planning to travel, tracing your ancestry's history as you meet extended family. Beats having to work it out under pressure for your kids school assignment hehe. The only bummer about this is that you have to order it for $20 and it's not compatible with Blackberry 
("CE My Family is a Read and Write Genealogy Solution for Pocket PC 2000, 2002 or Windows Mobile 2003.") It has had 902 downloads so it sounds like a winner to me.
